Most FWs limit the number of TSO segments a frame can produce to 64. This is for fairness and efficiency (of FW datapath) reasons. If a frame with larger number of segments is submitted the FW will drop it. Signed-off-by:

All netdevs which can accept TC offloads must implement .ndo_set_features(). nfp_reprs currently do not do that, which means hw-tc-offload can be turned on and off even when offloads are active. Whether the offloads are active is really a question to nfp_ports, so remove the per-app tc_busy callback indirection thing, and simply count the number of offloaded items in nfp_port structure.

nfp_port is a structure which represents an ASIC port, both PCIe vNIC (on a PF or a VF) or the external MAC port. vNIC netdev (struct nfp_net) and pure representor netdev (struct nfp_repr) both have a pointer to this structure. nfp_reprs always have a port associated. nfp_nets, however, only represent a device port in legacy mode, where they are considered the MAC port. In switchdev mode they are just the CPU's side of the PCIe link. By definition TC offloads only apply to device ports. Don't set the flag on vNICs without a port (i.e. in switchdev mode).

Upcoming changes will require all netdevs supporting TC offloads to have a full struct nfp_port. Require those for BPF offload. The operation without management FW reporting information about Ethernet ports is something we only support for very old and very basic NIC firmwares anyway. Signed-off-by:

tracepoint tcp_send_reset requires a full socket to work. However, it may be called when in TCP_TIME_WAIT: case TCP_TW_RST: tcp_v6_send_reset(sk, skb); inet_twsk_deschedule_put(inet_twsk(sk)); goto discard_it; To avoid this problem, this patch checks the socket with sk_fullsock() before calling trace_tcp_send_reset().

It was discovered that simple program which indefinitely sends 200b UDP packets and runs on TI AM574x SoC (SMP) under RT Kernel triggers network watchdog timeout in TI CPSW driver (<6 hours run). The network watchdog timeout is triggered due to race between cpsw_ndo_start_xmit() and cpsw_tx_handler() [NAPI] cpsw_ndo_start_xmit() if (unlikely(!cpdma_check_free_tx_desc(txch))) { txq = netdev_get_tx_queue(ndev, q_idx); netif_tx_stop_queue(txq); ^^ as per [1] barier has to be used after set_bit() otherwise new value might not be visible to other cpus } cpsw_tx_handler() if (unlikely(netif_tx_queue_stopped(txq))) netif_tx_wake_queue(txq); and when it happens ndev TX queue became disabled forever while driver's HW TX queue is empty. Fix this, by adding smp_mb__after_atomic() after netif_tx_stop_queue() calls and double check for free TX descriptors after stopping ndev TX queue - if there are free TX descriptors wake up ndev TX queue.

At some point, a check was added to exit the polling routine during resets. This makes sense for most reset conditions, but for a non-fatal error, we expect the polling routine to continue running to properly clean up the rx queues.

Because of differences in how ipv4 and ipv6 handle fib lookups, verification of nexthops with onlink flag need to default to the main table rather than the local table used by IPv4. As it stands an address within a connected route on device 1 can be used with onlink on device 2. Updating the table properly rejects the route due to the egress device mismatch. Update the extack message as well to show it could be a device mismatch for the nexthop spec. Fixes: fc1e64e1 ("net/ipv6: Add support for onlink flag") Signed-off-by:

AF_RXRPC is incorrectly sending back to the server any abort it receives for a client connection. This is due to the final-ACK offload to the connection event processor patch. The abort code is copied into the last-call information on the connection channel and then the event processor is set. Instead, the following should be done: (1) In the case of a final-ACK for a successful call, the ACK should be scheduled as before. (2) In the case of a locally generated ABORT, the ABORT details should be cached for sending in response to further packets related to that call and no further action scheduled at call disconnect time. (3) In the case of an ACK received from the peer, the call should be considered dead, no ABORT should be transmitted at this time. In response to further non-ABORT packets from the peer relating to this call, an RX_USER_ABORT ABORT should be transmitted. (4) In the case of a call killed due to network error, an RX_USER_ABORT ABORT should be cached for transmission in response to further packets, but no ABORT should be sent at this time.

Fix this resource leak by scheduling removal of all entries and explicit call to the garbage collector. 10) nf_ct_nat_offset() declaration is dead code, this function prototype is not used anywhere, remove it.

flow_offload_del frees the flow, so all associated resource must be freed before. Since the ct entry in struct flow_offload_entry was allocated by flow_offload_alloc, it should be freed by flow_offload_free to take care of the error handling path when flow_offload_add fails. While at it, make flow_offload_del static, since it should never be called directly, only from the gc step Signed-off-by:

The pipe buffer limits are accessed without any locking, and may be changed at any time by the sysctl handlers. In theory this could cause problems for expressions like the following: pipe_user_pages_hard && user_bufs > pipe_user_pages_hard ... since the assembly code might reference the 'pipe_user_pages_hard' memory location multiple times, and if the admin removes the limit by setting it to 0, there is a very brief window where processes could incorrectly observe the limit to be exceeded.

round_pipe_size() calculates the number of pages the requested size corresponds to, then rounds the page count up to the next power of 2. However, it also rounds everything < PAGE_SIZE up to PAGE_SIZE. Therefore, there's no need to actually translate the size into a page count; we just need to round the size up to the next power of 2. We do need to verify the size isn't greater than (1 << 31), since on 32-bit systems roundup_pow_of_two() would be undefined in that case. But that can just be combined with the UINT_MAX check which we need anyway now. Finally, update pipe_set_size() to not redundantly check the return value of round_pipe_size() for the "invalid size" case twice.

A pipe's size is represented as an 'unsigned int'. As expected, writing a value greater than UINT_MAX to /proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-size fails with EINVAL. However, the F_SETPIPE_SZ fcntl silently truncates such values to 32 bits, rather than failing with EINVAL as expected. (It *does* fail with EINVAL for values above (1 << 31) but <= UINT_MAX.) Fix this by moving the check against UINT_MAX into round_pipe_size() which is called in both cases. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180111052902.14409-6-ebiggers3@gmail.comSigned-off-by:

pipe-user-pages-hard and pipe-user-pages-soft are only supposed to apply to unprivileged users, as documented in both Documentation/sysctl/fs.txt and the pipe(7) man page. However, the capabilities are actually only checked when increasing a pipe's size using F_SETPIPE_SZ, not when creating a new pipe. Therefore, if pipe-user-pages-hard has been set, the root user can run into it and be unable to create pipes. Similarly, if pipe-user-pages-soft has been set, the root user can run into it and have their pipes limited to 1 page each. Fix this by allowing the privileged override in both cases.

pipe_proc_fn() is no longer needed, as it only calls through to proc_dopipe_max_size(). Just put proc_dopipe_max_size() in the ctl_table entry directly, and remove the unneeded EXPORT_SYMBOL() and the ENOSYS stub for it. (The reason the ENOSYS stub isn't needed is that the pipe-max-size ctl_table entry is located directly in 'kern_table' rather than being registered separately. Therefore, the entry is already only defined when the kernel is built with sysctl support.) Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180111052902.14409-3-ebiggers3@gmail.comSigned-off-by:

Patch series "pipe: buffer limits fixes and cleanups", v2. This series simplifies the sysctl handler for pipe-max-size and fixes another set of bugs related to the pipe buffer limits: - The root user wasn't allowed to exceed the limits when creating new pipes. - There was an off-by-one error when checking the limits, so a limit of N was actually treated as N - 1. - F_SETPIPE_SZ accepted values over UINT_MAX. - Reading the pipe buffer limits could be racy. This patch (of 7): Before validating the given value against pipe_min_size, do_proc_dopipe_max_size_conv() calls round_pipe_size(), which rounds the value up to pipe_min_size. Therefore, the second check against pipe_min_size is redundant. Remove it. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180111052902.14409-2-ebiggers3@gmail.comSigned-off-by:
